Software engineer with a demonstrated mindset for clean, modular code in order to achieve scalability and optimization. I work with JavaScript, TypeScript, React.js, Express.js, various CSS libraries, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS, and NGINX to create full-stack applications. I'm currently developing a web application that helps guitarists improve their fretboard navigation abilities.

Outside of work, I like to play guitar and cook nice meals.

• Key Frame Guitar - A music practice application I built using React inspired by key frames in animation. This app takes user input and creates fretboard maps of intersecting harmonies.

• Atelier Product API - An API that provides data to a fashion products merchant site. Three instances of Express.js servers were deployed via AWS behind an NGINX load balancer and connected to a server hosting a database powered by PostgreSQL. I wrote K6 tests that created up to 3000 virtual users that bombard the load balancer with requests in order to locate where optimizations can be performed.

• project:CATWALK - An e-commerce React application where I built the "Related Products" module. I made carousels from scratch to enhance customizability. I also built a data algorithm that both reduced requests made to the API as well as improved the speed of responses to user actions.

• Metronome - A metronome I built based on Grant James' scheduling algorithm using React. setInterval is not accurate enough for musicians to keep time, and this app employs a combination of setInterval and Web Audio API's currentTime method to ensure that timing is robust and usable for practice.
